We’re almost there. If you’ve walked by Columbus Circle recently, you’ve noticed that we’ve proudly removed the construction scrim from the glazed ceramic façade, revealing our spectacular new home. And we’re very excited that we’re only a few months away from opening the doors of the newest cultural institution in New York City.

The trustees and staff are very busy, finishing the capital campaign, creating exhibitions and programs, and getting ready to move the offices and our collection into the new building. We’re planning a gala, grand opening week in late September to inaugurate the new building. The centerpiece will be four exhibitions, detailed in this issue, including three based on our jewelry and permanent collections, and Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary, a groundbreaking exhibition that explores the global trend of transforming ordinary mass-produced objects into works of art. (See p. 4.)

Jerome Chazen, Chairman Emeritus and Chairman of the capital campaign, has driven the campaign and the new building project through his remarkable, daily leadership. Board Chairman Barbara Tober has constantly contributed her extraordinary energy and enthusiasm. The passion, hard work and tenacity of many people have made our new museum possible. Individuals, city officials, friends, agencies, corporations and foundations have helped over the past five years to make our dream a remarkable reality.

The Museum was born 52 years ago on 53rd Street. Located first in two different brownstone buildings, the Museum relocated to its present space when the larger office tower above us opened in 1986. Fifty-third Street has been a good home and allowed us to grow and to develop into the defining institution in our field. We’ve long outgrown our space; which does not accommodate our constantly expanding programs and collections.

Now, for the first time in our history, we’ll have four exhibition floors, two of them dedicated to showing the permanent collection. The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery is the first resource center in the country for contemporary jewelry, and our open studios for artists-in-residence make it possible for us to show visitors the creative process of turning unusual materials into art. Our well-known, Zagat-rated retail store is expanding and the building will be topped by a restaurant with panoramic views of Central Park.

We’ve literally “recycled” a building, unzipped it to let natural light into the galleries, to connect the Museum with its surroundings, to allow views inside and to let our visitors see the city and park beyond the gallery walls.

Nanette L. Laitman, President of the Board of Trustees, has been the strongest proponent of increasing our endowment. One of the biggest remaining projects is the completion of the endowment campaign. To that end, Nan made a generous endowment challenge gift in 2006. (See story, opposite page.)

We’re eager to share the new MAD with all of our members and friends—and with New York. Check our website for details on the week of special, grand opening events and programs: www.madmuseum.org.

Our deepest gratitude to all of you who made this possible. We hope to see you in September on Columbus Circle.

Holly Hotchner Director

What was your first experience with art? My parents were collectors and I grew up surrounded by art. In our apartment in the city, they had Impressionist paintings and antique French and English porcelain. In the country they had English art and needlepoint pictures from the 18th and 19th centuries.

As a young person, I was not artistic at all. But by living with art, I learned to see. And once you learn how to see, you can buy art. You can learn to separate good quality from the mediocre. I first collected ceramic teapots. I don’t collect very much anymore, but my children do. They travel a lot and buy art in the countries they visit.

For me, art has to be tactile or figurative. (She points to two recently acquired figurative canvases in her living room, by the painters David Nissan and Philip Pearlstein.) I cannot relate to abstract work. What has always appealed to me is workmanship. And I love meeting and talking with the artists.

How do you keep informed about the art world? I read a lot of magazines, especially Art in America and ARTnews. I also visit all the museums in the city. And I travel a lot, mostly with arts groups.

What is it like for you to see the new museum take shape? Building this new museum is an awesome experience and a unique one for me. It’s always complicated to build in Manhattan, and building costs are much higher here. I like to see the finished product and now that the construction scrim is down, the project is taking shape for me. Up until now I could not relate to wires and pipes. Now it’s coming together and it’s extremely exciting. Now I can see where things are going to be happening and it makes me feel good. The last few months of the project will be fabulous.

How is the new museum important? There is no other place to see the kinds of art we show—contemporary decorative arts and design—and new ideas pursued through glass, ceramic, metal, fiber and wood. We’re going to have the best of the best that’s produced. For instance, some of the wood artists working today, and whose work we show, are the finest ever.

What makes you proud of this museum? The artists are what make this field personal. We’re all like a family. Today’s artists have no place to be recognized other than MAD. We’re not just collecting and showing pots and bowls anymore.

What are the rewards of leading a cultural institution? We’re creating something new here. This museum is really coming into its own. Our beautiful new building, expanded exhibitions, education programs and audiences will only make us better.

Nanette L. Laitman, a philanthropist and longtime supporter of the arts, first became involved with the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) 30 years ago, when she received an invitation from then-director Paul Smith to attend the opening of the exhibition, The Great American Foot. At the time, she served as a trustee of The New Museum of Contemporary Art, and met Jerome Chazen, then Chairman of MAD. She decided to join MAD and began traveling with the Collectors Circle.

Laitman joined the Board in 1994, was elected president in 2000, and honored as one of the Museum’s Visionaries! in 2002. Her dedication to the Campaign for 2 Columbus Circle has been tireless and constant. She serves on the Building Committee and oversees gift policy and recognition.

Looking to the future, in addition to Nan’s extraordinary generous capital contribution and the naming of the Nanette L. Laitman Galleries, she is also championing the Museum’s $20 million endowment campaign to provide for a dependable source of income for annual operations. Toward that end, in 2006 she pledged to match one-to-one every dollar raised for endowment up to $4 million, in addition to an outright endowment gift. At this time, the Museum has raised $12.5 million in endowment. Laitman’s passionate and prescient support will be recognized with the naming of the Nanette L. Laitman Directorship.

Laitman is Trustee and Managing Director of The William and Mildred Lasdon Foundation, which supports medical research and the arts. She established the Nanette Laitman Document Project for Craft in America at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. The project includes oral histories of dozens of well-known American craft artists and will be linked to the Museum’s on-line learning center where visitors worldwide may access the artists’ oral histories, a unique database of the Museum’s collections, and a visual library of artists’ techniques.

The construction of the William & Mildred Lasdon Memorial Garden at Lasdon Park in Westchester County, New York, is another accomplishment. Laitman also has endowed a professorship and programs at Weill Medical College at Cornell University.

Laitman has been an avid collector of ceramics and furniture. During a recent interview, she talked about art and her passionate involvement with MAD.

Gun triggers, spools of thread, tires, hypodermic needles, dog tags, old eyeglasses and telephone books are among the many manufactured and mass-produced objects that more than 50 contemporary, international artists used to create works for Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary, the Museum’s inaugural exhibition at Columbus Circle.

Second Lives is a special thematic exhibition featuring artists from 17 countries who transform discarded, commonplace or valueless objects into extraordinary works of art. Second Lives includes new commissions and site-specific installations. Highlighting the creative processes that repurpose these objects, the exhibition explores the transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary and stimulates debate on function, value and identity.

Director Holly Hotchner says, “Second Lives reflects the Museum’s core mission of celebrating materials and process. We live in a world populated with consumer products and these artists make magic using society’s castoffs and overlooked items. While the focus of the exhibition is neither on sustainability nor recycling, the works in the exhibition are a catalyst for thought and discussion about these issues. Second Lives is especially timely as the Museum marks its own second life as a renewed institution and as Columbus Circle enjoys its own renaissance.”

Organized by Chief Curator David Revere McFadden and Curator Lowery Stokes Sims, Second Lives reflects a current interest among international artists in using ordinary objects as raw materials, an approach rooted in both Dada and Surrealism. The works on view bear implicit social commentaries and explore themes of power, politics, identity, and value. Moreover, each work remains faithful to the traditional standards of craftsmanship, seen in processes that include carving, cabinetmaking, appliqué and collage.

“Our perceptions of objects as being functional or aesthetic, cheap or valuable are directly challenged in the works on view in Second Lives,” says McFadden. “The more than 50 artists that are featured work in ways that resist categorization and that further underscore a breakdown in the hierarchy that has traditionally separated art, craft and design. Instead, these intricately crafted works reveal an intense engagement with ideas, meaning, materiality and process.”

The exhibition begins with a selection of works from the 1990s by Tejo Remy, Ingo Maurer and the Campana brothers, among others, that provides an introduction to repurposing of objects in design. The exhibition traces the development of this concept through a group of works created within the past eight years by both established and emerging artists, including Terese Agnew, El Anatsui, Hew Locke, Devorah Sperber, Cornelia Parker, Xu Bing, Do Ho Suh, Susie MacMurray and Fred Wilson, among others. Highlights include:

Brave #2 (2006) by American artist Boris Bally which presents an intricate necklace made entirely of pistol triggers, delicately incised with hatch marks to give the finger a better grip. Bally, who has long been involved with violence prevention programs, obtained the triggers from weapons turned in as part of a Pittsburgh-based

“gun buy-back” program.

Madam C J Walker (large), by U.S. artist Sonya Clark, is an 11-foot high portrait of Walker (1867–1919), the first African-American millionaire, who made her fortune by developing and marketing hair products and cosmetics for African American women. Clark constructed her imposing portrait with thousands of black hair combs, creating a pixilated image.

Ghana-born and Nigeria-based artist El Anatsui has created a new, site-specific work for the exhibition, a rich, shimmering tapestry made entirely and unexpectedly of foil from liquor bottles. Anatsui’s tapestries speak to issues relating to the African slave trade, when liquor was used as payment for slaves, and to questions of sustainability that are challenging Nigeria’s rapid population growth. His work also reflects traditional Kente craft and weaving.

Trinity: Grandma, Spike, Bubbles (2007) by American artists Andy Diaz Hope and Laurel Roth. Designed in traditional neoclassical form, these custom chromed chandeliers are made of hypodermic needles, gelatin capsules and Swarovski crystal, posing issues about drug culture. While seductive in their beauty, the chandeliers are a chilling reminder of a darker side of contemporary life.

Fred Wilson’s Love and Loss in the Milky Way table top installation features a potpourri of white ceramic tchotchkes and vessels used in everyday life that surround a large plaster reproduction of a classical sculpture. Set against this pervasive whiteness, a “mammy-headed” cookie jar sparks a conversation about race, colonialism, and cultural hierarchy that has been the fodder of art discourse since the 1980s.

A 200–page, fully illustrated catalogue that includes essays by the curators, biographies and critical essays on the artists will be available through the Museum Store.

The Museum will inaugurate The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery in its new Columbus Circle home with Elegant Armor: The Art of Jewelry. The exhibition looks at the inspirations for contemporary jewelry, including the fine arts, the human form, the natural world, and technology. The more than 130 works featured, from1948 to the present, are drawn from the museum’s collection of approximately 450 modern and contemporary designs. The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery, which houses the collection in accessible drawers, is a unique study center dedicated exclusively to contemporary jewelry.

The Museum will inaugurate its Collections Gallery with 250 of the most significant works from its permanent holdings, many never previously shown to the public. Permanently MAD: Revealing the Collection will feature the work of groundbreaking artists and designers from 1950s through the present day, including Jack Lenor Larson, Wendell Castle, Faith Ringgold, Roy Lichtenstein, George Segal, Cindy Sherman and Betty Woodman among many others.

These highlights trace the phenomenal rise of the studio craft tradition in America following World War II, and its evolution into today’s dynamic synthesis between art, craft and design from a global point of view. As the first in an ongoing series of thematic explorations of MAD’s collection, this exhibition marks the first time in the Museum’s 52-year history that its internationally renowned collection will be presented in dedicated gallery spaces, which occupy an entire floor of the new building.

An entire gallery will display a selection of the many gifts to the Museum since the beginning of the building campaign. Collectors, artists, and galleries from around the world have contributed major historic masterworks in ceramics, glass, metal, wood, and fiber, which will be on view with cutting edge new work by international artists and studio practitioners.

Permanently Mad: Revealing the Collection Museum presents works never before shown

Permanently MAD is organized thematically and breaks with traditional installation methods that present works chronologically, geographically or by media. Instead, the exhibition offers visually stimulating comparison among works that share a common concept. Works on view will be grouped into three thematic sections that introduce the viewer to different ways of approaching contemporary art. “Description” looks at the work’s visual language or aesthetics; “Intention” at the ways in which artists express their inner thoughts and feelings; and “Reflection” at the political, social, and cultural context in which the work was created.

Holly Hotchner, Director of MAD, says, “It is gratifying to present the Museum collection for the enjoyment of our visitors for the first time in our history. The Museum was the first collecting institution focused entirely on studio craft, and has been a leader in the documentation of this aspect of twentieth-century art. Today the Museum fills a unique niche in the cultural world as it continues to expand its collections in all of the related fields—art, design, fashion, architecture—where the values of traditional craftsmanship are of critical importance.”

Visitors also will have access to the Museum’s entire collection of more than 2,000 objects through a new online database at three different terminals throughout the gallery. The database will provide supplementary information on each artist and object as well as on the different techniques and materials represented in the collection.

Chief Curator David Revere McFadden states, “We believe that our visitors will be astonished and delighted to see such an exceptional range of creativity in the works included in this inaugural exhibition. The diversity of approaches to design and fabrication in the fields of ceramics, glass, metalwork, wood and furniture, textiles and fibers is striking, and a testament to the limitless potential of materials and techniques when used by creative and innovative artists.”

“We’re very grateful to our partners at The Tiffany & Co. Foundation,” Director Holly Hotchner notes.

“This innovative international resource center is a significant addition to MAD and to the field of contemporary jewelry. Our new jewelry center will be an important destination for New York’s culture and fashion communities.”

“Since its founding in 1956, the Museum has had a distinguished history of interpreting the cultural significance of modern and contemporary jewelry,” says Ursula Ilse-Neuman, recently named Curator of Contemporary Jewelry, who organized Elegant Armor. “Our permanent collection of jewelry and exciting exhibition programming highlights the work of both established and emerging artists from around the world. MAD’s collection explores the range of concepts, materials and techniques that make contemporary jewelry one of today’s most compelling art forms.”

“We are pleased to have funded the creation of The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery, which embodies the Foundation’s mission to enhance the appreciation of jewelry as an art form,” said Fernanda M. Kellogg, President of The Tiffany & Co. Foundation. “Through an innovative program of exhibitions and by establishing the gallery as a research center, we hope to support the Museum’s efforts to educate and inspire both emerging artists and all those who have an interest in jewelry.”

The collection—with styles ranging from minimal to theatrical, and materials from the everyday to the opulent—presents major themes in contemporary jewelry. The exhibition is divided into four broad sections: Sculptural Forms, Narrative Jewelry, Painted and Textured Surfaces, and Radical Edge.

Sculptural Forms Many prominent artists emphasize pure form, creating jewelry that functions as small sculpture, on and off the body. These works range from minimalist, biomorphic and organic, to kinetic jewelry and pieces informed by architecture and engineering. Minimalist works include the celebrated 1967 Armband by Gijs Bakker and Emmy van Leersum and Linda MacNeil’s 1995 geometric necklace of mirrored glass and gold, a significant recent acquisition of the Museum.

Narrative Jewelry Narrative jewelry, in addition to using signs and symbols, stories and legends, and sociopolitical messages, includes images inspired by nature or the human body. Swiss artist Verena Sieber-Fuchs’s Apart-heid Collar, 1968, made of fruit wrapping tissue paper used for South African oranges, comments on social injustice. The human hand is depicted in the 1992 Metamorfosi bracelet by Italian sculptor-jeweler Bruno Martinazzi.

Painted and Textured Surfaces Some artists achieve brilliant color in their pieces by inlaying metals, enameling, or using stones or beads. Earl Pardon’s 1979 Necklace reflects a painterly approach to the use of enamel. Colored stones also add chromatic interest. Native American contemporary jewelry pioneer Charles Loloma uses brilliant turquoise in his 1968 Bracelet.

Radical Edge Many works in the Museum collection are conceptual in design. Innovator Stanley Lechtzin used rapid prototyping stereo-lithography to make his 1999 Plus-Minus Brooch, while Danielle Kerner’s 1999 Mag-Brooch was made with selective laser incisions in DuraForm polyamide joined by rare earth magnets.

Developing an appropriate theme for the special exhibition to inaugurate the fourth and fifth floor galleries was a daunting task. Over the 52 years of the Museum’s history, virtually every studio craft medium had been explored through exhibitions—all types of ceramics, international glass, traditional and experimental fiber, turned wood and furniture, metalwork and jewelry.

Over the decades since the founding of the Museum, studio craft has evolved dramatically and today is embedded in a wider range of art and design than ever previously imagined. Clearly, a new approach was needed to reveal today’s rich diversity of international talent that challenges the traditional boundaries and hierarchies separating art, craft, and design. Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary, which features work by more than 50 artists from around the world and inaugurates the special exhibition galleries, is a departure from the expected.

Rather than looking at traditional materials, it focuses on how artists and designers create new materials for making art from ordinary manufactured objects. These artists reclaim, repurpose and transform the mundane—plastic spoons, spools of thread, telephone directories, metal neck-wraps from liquor bottles, gun triggers and labels from designer clothing—into engaging, compelling, and provocative works of art.

Through exceptional craftsmanship, these artists give a second life to the mundane and ubiquitous things that surround us all. They bring together hundreds and sometimes thousands of identical objects with consummate skill and focused labor. The title of the exhibition also alludes to the “second life” of the museum building, and to a new chapter in the Museum’s history. The Museum’s newest curator, Lowery Stokes Sims, brought her knowledge of contemporary art to bear in searching out of artists for the exhibition, and Adjunct Curator Brian Parkes from Australia contributed his international vision. Since many of the artists have chosen to create large-scale installation works, the expertise of Exhibitions Curator Dorothy Twining Globus and installation architect Todd Zwigard were essential to the success of the enterprise.

From its inception, the exhibition created international networks that involved the artists, galleries, collectors, and other curators who provided leads to additional artists. The exhibition now includes work by artists from Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Nigeria, South Korea, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States. The curatorial team sought artists working in the most unexpected materials and techniques, artists whose work reveals “the joy of making” that is central to the art, craft, and design of our day.

One of the great pleasures of working on this show has been getting to know the artists. Lowery and I have struck up so many new friendships with wonderful artists like El Anatsui from Nigeria, Xu Bing from China, and Susie MacMurray from England, among many others.

We visited studios all over New York, from Harlem and Chelsea, to Brooklyn and Queens. It is always wonderful to talk with the artists on their own territory, as it gives a wonderful contextual background to what we have chosen for the exhibition. And sometimes we went with a specific work in mind, only to change our mind once we saw other pieces in the studio. Some of the studios were down rickety stairs, others in pristine white laboratories, and even one in an unheated garage that we visited on the coldest day of January, but all were memorable.

We have taken many of the artists through the new Museum building on hard hat tours, and they are truly energized and thrilled to know that their work will launch the Museum.

Perspectives First Thoughts on Second Lives by David Revere McFadden, Chief Curator

The three newest members of the Board of Trustees are Kris Fuchs, owner of a furniture and design showroom and store; Linda Johnson, a foundation president; and Klara Silverstein, who is active in educational, medical and Jewish organizations.

Kris Fuchs Kris Fuchs is founder and principal of Suite New York, a leading Manhattan store featuring modern and contemporary furniture and design. She established her business after collecting vintage modern furniture for 15 years. Fuchs directs her company’s public relations and marketing, and works constantly with the design world. The store sells furniture by Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjaerholm, Fabricius Kastholm, Vico Magistretti and Achille Castilglioni. Earlier in her career, she ran a fashion production agency.

“I’m involved with MAD because I want to contribute to my community,” says Fuchs, “and because I love to see how much joy our visitors experience looking at the artistic creations of others.”

She sees that the Museum’s “mixture of art and design, including embroidery, textiles, glass, wood, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and so much more makes it really unique.”

The mother of two daughters, she is active in their school, Riverdale Country Day School, and in the Women’s International Zionist Organization. She co-chairs the events committees at Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As a philanthropist, she contributes quietly, “behind the scenes.” Fuchs’ contemporary art collection includes works by John Chamberlain, Louise Bourgeois, Donald Baecheler, Robert Indiana, Henri Matisse, Gary Hume and James Nares.

Fuchs feels that the Museum’s Columbus Circle home, which has an enviable location at the entrance to Central Park, and “stunning” views, will stand out as a “classic, iconic building for many years.” Linda E. Johnson Linda E. Johnson, a native of the Philadelphia area and CEO of the Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation, began her career as an attorney with the firm Greenberg & Prior in Princeton, New Jersey, practicing environmental and education law. Johnson received her undergraduate degree from Hamilton College and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She left the legal field in 1990 to join JCI Data Processing, Inc., founded by her father in 1958. She served as president from 1994 until the company was sold in 2004.

A passionate collector—contemporary art and craft, early American folk art—she is very excited to see what the Museum’s curators are developing for the new facility, and “to hear about innovations taking place in artists’ studios around the world.” Working on the Board, she adds, “allows me to indulge my love of the visual arts.”

Johnson serves on the boards of the National Constitution Center and the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network and Hamilton College, and has deep experience in the not-for-profit world.

“I know how important Board participation is in raising awareness of the Museum’s mission and capital campaign,” she says. “I hope I can also encourage the staff to stretch; to reach the institution’s missions creatively.”

“The Allied Works design for the new building is wonderful,” Johnson says, “and I believe MAD will be welcomed by this already thriving retail and performing arts neighborhood with its enviable mixture of tourists and residents. It is very exciting to be part of reinventing the Museum.”

Klara Silverstein Klara Silverstein, who chairs the Hunter College Foundation Board of Trustees, is looking forward to utilizing her background and skills in fundraising and education to further advance the Museum’s forward direction

Silverstein, a graduate of Hunter College and a member of its Alumni Association Hall of Fame, also has worked on behalf of New York University’s School of General Studies and a board member of NYU’s Child Study Center, and is active in The Food Allergy Initiative associated with Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Serving in a wide range of leadership roles in New York’s Jewish community, Silverstein has chaired UJA-Federation’s Annual Campaign and the Women’s Campaign, is a founding member of the Jewish Women’s Foundation of New York, and a past chair of the Board of Associated YM-YWHAs of Great New York. She is still involved with many of UJA-Federation’s activities, and currently serves on the executive committee of the Women’s Philanthropy Board.

“We have collected 19th and 20th century American paintings,” she says, “and had run out of wall space. We also have walls of windows and ledges and one day we realized we had put together a collection of glass, some old, but mostly contemporary. One of the pleasures of collecting is talking with the artists, seeing work through their eyes, their methods and their dreams. Many of them have become friends. Through the Museum’s exhibitions we have expanded our interests to include other art forms—ceramics, wood and metal.”

She and her husband Larry Silverstein, who live near Columbus Circle, have three children and eight grandchildren. “I am thrilled that MAD will have a new home in our neighborhood,” she says. “Our grandchildren are beginning to share our enthusiasm for glass and we hope the new museum will engage them and their generation even more.”

“I love to see how much joy our visitors experience looking at the artistic creations of others.”

Dedicated classroom and seminar rooms provide a setting for delving deeper into specific subjects and issues such as sustainability, the political and social contexts of exhibitions, the permanent collection and much more. Long established programs—weekday school groups, weekend workshops, teacher training sessions and summer day camp groups—will be enhanced and offered alongside new initiatives. The 150-seat auditorium on the Museum’s lower level will feature film and music programs and serve as a forum for leading artists, critics, curators and writers.

The Open Studios program offers a behind-the-scenes view into the artistic practice, allowing all visitors to interact with working artists. Each day, artists work in studios with materials including ceramics, fiber, mixed media, cold-glass and small metals. During scheduled visiting hours, the artists will discuss their process, materials and concepts with visitors, and illuminate the way their process relates to the artwork on view in the galleries. The studios will be used by a combination of local working artists, exhibition artists, and visiting artists and designers whose work represent the core mission of the Museum.

Partnerships and Community Outreach The Education Department collaborates with numerous arts, cultural, civic and social organizations, and with schools and other educational institutions. The MAD seminar room and classroom will become a hub for groups from the craft, contemporary art, design and furniture communities.

New Programming New program initiatives include workshops for children under six years old with their adult companions; birthday parties incorporating art-making workshops; a teen after-school program; youth claymation workshops and a culminating film festival; hands-on programs for the visually impaired and other special needs audiences; workshops held during school vacation periods; family gallery guides; a paid high school internship program; portfolio development program for high school and college students; and a student docent program.

New Media Initiatives The Museum will greatly extend its reach online with a newly revamped website and its fresh visual look, part of the new graphic identity being created by the design firm Pentagram. Among the site’s captivating new aspects will be a navigable database of the Museum’s entire collection, allowing users (including teachers and students in their classroom) to search for particular pieces of art, then browse through information and related media on that piece, including audio and video.

The Museum has entered the blogosphere and staff members will be posting thoughts on a variety of subjects on the MAD blog. Posts from the Education Department on its ongoing programs will sit alongside curators’ commentaries on the latest SOFA (International Exposition of Sculpture Objects and Functional Art) show for example, or interesting new literature in the field. Those artists invited to work in the open studios also will be invited to add their insights on the Museum’s blog.

Additional multi-media features on the Museum’s website—madmuseum.org—include videos of conservators at work preparing the museum’s collection for public display, curators as they visit artists’ studios in preparation for the museum’s upcoming exhibits, and many more events, public programs and lectures.

Podcasts give a focused look at Museum programs and events. Visitors can download podcast episodes that are highly accessible, educational and entertaining. Each new program will further establish the Museum as a destination for all topics related to art, craft and design.

Volunteer Corps As part of its expansion, the Museum has begun formalized training for its corps of more than 30 volunteer gallery interpreters. This includes a newly created series of educational sessions focused on the five materials prominent in the MAD permanent collection—wood, metal, glass, ceramics and fiber. MAD docents will attend two sessions for each of the five materials. The format includes an historical context lecture, an artist talk, and a studio field trip or hands-on workshop. Membership is competitive and the docent corps has been expanded to include individuals who will contribute administrative support without the responsibility of presenting tours.

“it’s a square building that sits on the most prominent circle in Manhattan.

The Center for the Study of Arts and Design Housed in its expanded sixth floor headquarters, the Education Department’s Center for the Study of Arts and Design is an exceptional new resource for producing and presenting an array of established and new programs.

“The programs at the Center create environments for inquiry and exploration, where studio-based activities form an important element and allow diverse visitors, school groups, teachers and families to interact with working artists,” says Brian MacFarland, Associate Vice President for Education.

With the Museum’s move to Columbus Circle, we had a chance to reinvent ourselves in more ways than one. This included our logo. We entrusted this task to the New York office of the design consultancy Pentagram, which is also designing our signs and a variety of distinctive media installations throughout our new home. We talked to Pentagram partner Michael Bierut about how he went about creating a new graphic identity for the new MAD.

What was the biggest challenge in creating a logo for MAD? Your acronym is a great asset. It’s short, pronounceable and memorable. But it’s also in some ways overly familiar. For example, there already is a well-known MAD logo, which appears on the cover of a magazine that I loved when I was twelve. So part of the problem is to make it surprising, less familiar, and proprietary—to come up with a MAD that could only be yours.

We also wanted a way of writing the name that could embody the values of the museum, something that seemed inventive and surprising, and that could appear in different ways on different occasions. The museum, after all, is dedicated to artists who take typical forms—say, vessels, or chairs—and transform them over and over again with their creativity. We hope that the simple forms of the new logo will permit just that kind of transformation.

How did you arrive at the final form of the logo? Did you consider other possibilities along the way? We tried lots of different things, including changing the acronym altogether. At one point, we developed an interesting linear version that echoed the ingenious system of connected light slots that Brad Cloepfel designed in the walls, floors and ceilings of the gallery spaces.

In the end, we decided to start with MAD’s fantastic location. It’s a more or less square building that sits on the most prominent circle in Manhattan. By combining squares and circles, we came up with an alphabet that rendered a great MAD monogram. Some people who see it are reminded of Edward Durrell Stone’s famous—or infamous—“lollipop” columns, which Brad and his team have retained as “ghosts” visible from outside the building.

Did you say there’s a whole alphabet? Yes, the team here created an alphabet and numbers based on the basic MAD combination, again, made out of squares and circles. It’s fun but, as you can imagine, not the easiest thing in the world to read. It wouldn’t work too well on fire exit signs, for instance. But it definitely reflects the inventive spirit of MAD, and we hope to use it on special occasions. We have a more conventional typeface, Futura, which we’re using for signage and—to use an immediate example—the headlines in this newsletter. Like your logo, it’s based on geometry, with a perfectly round letter “o.”

Where else will we see the logo? The logo will be the basic identifier for the museum, showing up on everything from shopping bags to promotional material, a different way every time. We also have an amazing program of digital media designed by my partner Lisa Strausfeld and her team. This includes animated totems that will serve as directories to the various floors of the museum, screens facing the sidewalk that will let passersby know what’s happening inside, and kiosks with interactive databases that will let you explore the collection. You’ll see the identity there as well.

Laos and Vietnam March 1–14, 2008 Cambodia March 14–17, 2008 MAD’s mini-grand tour of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was an outstanding success. The group experienced first-hand Vietnam’s thriving contemporary art and traditional craft scene. In Laos, the group enjoyed a private tour of American designer Carol Cassidy’s studio, where more than 50 enterprising artisans, mostly women, created shimmering wraps, ikat (fabrics woven with resist-dyed thread) scarves, and brocade wall hangings using centuries-old patterns with modern colors. Those who continued on to Cambodia saw the ruins of the ancient Khmer Empire at Angkor, considered one of the wonders of the world, and visited Les Artisans D’Angkor, a workshop where young Cambodians learn the crafts of wood and stone carving, lacquering and silk weaving.

Seattle (June 5–8) MAD’s exciting Seattle itinerary included time with glass artists, designers and jewelers; destination landmarks; and private visits to the homes of prominent collectors. Highlights included studio visits with artists Dale Chihuly, Benjamin Moore, Ginny Ruffner, Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace, Jenny Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles, and Roy McMakin, among others. Other events: an evening featuring jewelry and wearable art, exploring museums, organizations and architectural sites. Travelers spent three nights at the chic Hotel Ändra in Belltown within downtown Seattle.

Heller Gallery Soiree On Thursday, April 17, members and friends of Studio 53 Associates kicked off the spring season with an event at Heller Gallery. Attendees viewed the figurative work of German artist Sibylle Peretti over wine and the smooth sounds of DJ Moni during a private reception. Peretti’s arresting glass works provided the perfect backdrop for connecting with old friends and meeting new ones.

Museum begins new partnership with Steelcase

Members know this is an historic moment for MAD. The opening of the new building is just a few months away. It all begins with the Grand Opening week of this new, world-class facility in the heart of New York City.

The Museum welcomes members for an exclusive preview before the new building opens to the public. This all-day open house is reserved for members only, complete with refreshments, and the special opportunity to tour the permanent collection galleries and inaugural exhibition, Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary. A private evening reception to celebrate the Museum’s grand opening will be held exclusively for Contributing Members and above, with a special event hosted a day earlier for members of Circle groups.

The Museum is delighted to announce its new partnership with Steelcase, the global leader in office furniture and one of MAD’s future 2 Columbus Circle neighbors. Steelcase is generously donating all of the furniture for the Museum’s administrative offices, as well as its sixth floor Education Center.

From the modular desks made of white metal and glass, to the clean lines of the specially configured wood bookshelves, Steelcase is helping to create a space that reflects the Museum’s focus on materials and processes in art and design. Steelcase is contributing to the perfect MAD work environment—taking into consideration the Museum’s needs and desires, and producing an architectural- and design-focused plan that is functional, sleek and fitting with MAD’s culture. Steelcase is also providing a beautiful wood conference table, state-of-the-art chairs for the offices and reception areas, seating in the Museum’s seminar room on the sixth floor, all filing cabinets, as well as staff lounge furniture.

This extraordinary gift represents the beginning of a long-lasting partnership between Steelcase and MAD. Of particular note, this is the first time that Steelcase has donated a gift of this magnitude and it has been wonderful to watch the expertise of the Steelcase design team transform the space.

The Board of Trustees and staff extend their deepest appreciation to the individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies who contributed generously between October 1, 2007 and March 15, 2008 to support the Museum’s collections, exhibitions, educational and public programs, publications, special events, annual operations, and Capital Campaign for 2 Columbus Circle.

As the Museum prepares for its move to 2 Columbus Circle just a few months from now, our supporters are more important than ever. Your continuing generosity and encouragement allow us to remain at the forefront of our rapidly evolving field; we are grateful to have such dedicated and loyal benefactors, members, and friends. Your support is vital to our success.
